Description
The 160mm scoring blade at 55mm bore fits the scoring arbor specification on European sliding panel saws using the 55mm bore scoring assembly — a bore size used on specific European panel saw models where arbor geometry dictates this configuration. This 36-tooth blade pre-scores the bottom face of panels ahead of and below the main blade, preventing the chip-out and delamination in melamine-faced board, veneer-faced plywood, and HPL-surfaced panel that would occur if the main blade exited through the unscored bottom surface. At 36 teeth on 160mm, the blade provides the tooth density appropriate for clean, consistent scoring in brittle laminate materials at the feed rates of European production panel saws. The 160mm diameter serves panel saw models where the scoring arbor position requires this larger blade radius to correctly intersect the panel bottom face at the cutting position. Carbide tips are ground to consistent geometry to maintain scoring performance through production-volume use in high-output melamine and laminate panel processing environments. Being a conical scoring blade, it cuts an adjustable score width of 4.3–5.3mm — raise or lower the blade to match the main-blade kerf exactly.
